Analysis —An augmented second in descending progression occurs 
twice in this song and is found in no other song of the present series. 
It was not noted among the Chippewa, but occurs in one of the Sioux 
songs recorded by Chippewa (Bull. 53, Bur. Amer. Ethn., No. 75) 
and in three Sioux songs (Bull. 61, Bur. Amer. Ethn., p. 220). Other 
songs containing syncopations are noted in the analysis of No. 1. 
This song is peculiar in its progressions, more than one-third of the 
intervals containing only one or two semitones. About one-third of 
the intervals are major thirds and ‘the song is strongly major in 
tonality. The melody tones are those of the fourth five-toned scale. 
The two songs next following express the eagerness of the warriors 
to reach the enemy. No. 82 is said to be the song of Flying Eagle, a 
man of great stature, who did not fear to charge the enemy alone, 
riding boldly among them.
